Hour-long closure to Wokingham Residents of Longshot Lane on Saturday May 10

Wokingham Residents are advised that the Longshot Lane civic amenity site will be closed between 9am and 10am on Saturday May 10.

The closure is owing to the redevelopment of the site – which is currently being carried out by the re3 waste minimisation partnership, which includes Wokingham, Bracknell Forest, Reading Borough Councils and Waste Recycling Group (WRG).

The new site will provide upgraded waste and recycling facilities for everyone using it, including Wokingham Borough residents.

While the redevelopment is on-going and so that it can be completed as quickly and safely as possible, the site’s opening hours for residents are 5pm to 8pm on weekdays, and from 8am to 6pm at weekends and bank holidays in the winter and until 8pm in the summer.

Cllr Rob Stanton, re3 chairman and Wokingham Borough Council’s executive member for corporate services, said: “The additional one hour closure of Longshot Lane on Saturday May 10 is owing to the redevelopment of the site. I would like to apologise in advance for any disruption this may cause residents.

“Smallmead household waste and recycling site in Reading will continue to be open as per usual on that day, so if residents need to dispose of waste from 9am to 10am there is an alternative available for them.

“I’d like to thank residents for their patience while Longshot Lane is being redeveloped and urge them to keep checking its opening times before they set off.”
